Guillaume about to launch down the Vallee Blanche

Taken in mid-April, this is the top of the Vallee Blanche 'the' 14km off-piste route from the Auguille du Midi down to Chamonix. Guillame Mardon is a 'Guide de Haute Montagne' and even though he does this for a living - still grins the whole way ! Photographer - Darren Joint.
